Welcome DNA Cousins! You are here because you match either myself, my husband and or our Daughter`s DNA Kits. The purpose of this page is to give you access to the tools you need in order to make DNA comparisons with us and learn how we might possibly connect.
We have tested at 23andMe, Family Tree DNA`s Family Finder and also have transferred our results to Gedmatch for comparison there.

About My Family
My family has roots in the Deep Southern United States. I have ancestors from Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina. My Mother's family comes from the Appalachian Mountains and has a lot of Cherokee and or Melungeon roots. There is a lot of Admixture within that population. I do have some African Ancestry as well, my DNA on 23andME shows 1% African DNA. I am proud of all my heritage and happy to meet anyone who connects to me. For the most part my Mother's family were Dirt poor farmers, Coal Miners and the like. There were occasional Doctors spread throughout her ancestors as well. Her mother raised 10 children, she was the youngest.
I have several German grandparents back there, as well as some Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry. My fathers line has been a bit of a mystery for me but I am slowly beginning to piece it together. His roots trace back to England.
My Husband`s Family
It appears as though my husband's Paternal Grandfather was born Illegitimate or has an Undocumented Adoption. It appears as though his Great Grandfather was actually his Great Grand Uncle and he descends from what he knew to be his Great Grand Aunt, she would actually have been his Great Grandmother. So he still has the DNA belonging to the family he was raised with but its just not through the Y-DNA. His Y-DNA bears the Genetic Signature of the Fancher family. I am slowly putting the pieces of the puzzle together using an extensive tree shared by his grandfathers biological family. I have been working on this puzzle since 2009 when he first learned his Y DNA beared a different surname. Hopefully I am getting close to figuring it all out once and for all. I will do my best to post an updated list of surnames here soon. If you have any questions please feel free to leave me a message.
I tested my kit with your daughter. We have a match on two segments s, and SNP over 1,000.

Your husband, but not as much. My family is from the same area.

I have not yet done a DNA kit, but am related to Kosina and our son was born with a very genetic disease called Mucopolysaccaridosis 1 - H, commonly known as Hurler Syndrome. It is auto recessive and occurs in about 1:100,000 live births. I wanted to let you know of this disorder because the disease is very devastating and usually results in very early death. Genetic screen is now so simple to do for this disorder via a saliva or urine test. And the test is now widely available in the United States. And there are many more opportunities for Bone Marrow Transplantation and palliative care.
